A common theme running through almost all the best-selling books on wealth and success are a formula for success that is referred to as "the ladder of learning". The ladder of learning may run through education, experience, trial and error, networking and experiences with others. No matter what the topic of your learning there is a formula for success and with the right training and attitude any person can climb the ladder of learning and attain their own personal ladder of success.
A few examples of books on success and wealth have "The Wealth Of Nations" by Karl von Clausewitz and "The Secret" by Napoleon Hill. Both authors lay out in simple language, some of the major steps required for success and how to achieve it. They provide works which are gems in the field of success and very simple to read and understand. However, beyond the books there are other great success resources such as Napoleon Hill's book "The Law Of Success" and Thomas Edison's "The Science Of Getting Rich." These great success resources along with many others are what makes getting rich so difficult and many people so disillusioned with it.
Knowledge and being knowledgeable is not enough to achieve success today because there are so many misconceptions and false truths out there that cloud a person's judgment and cause them to make poor choices and decisions that result in poverty and misfortune. The most common misconception of course is that knowledge only comes with money and with a large amount of money one can accomplish anything they set their minds to. This is a false idea and is only an illusion. Knowledge with all its trappings of luxury and grandeur is only a stepping stone to greater things. True knowledge with all its limitations is the ladder of learning and nothing higher than that can lead to great success no matter what your background.
Knowledge and the ladder of success can be seen as two parallel tracks; knowledge always starts with the individual and then the individual takes that knowledge and builds on it to form a bigger, stronger and more solid structure that can take them to whatever heights their mind can dream. One of the biggest mistakes many people make when trying to climb the ladder of success is to stop dreaming and to put their dreams aside. Many people today will spend all their time working towards something that they will never reach. They will spend all their lives working to become rich and wealthy, but they fail to do anything in their life that may hinder their path to success. You must never allow fear of failure to hold you back from your dreams. The only way you will accomplish anything in this world is by overcoming your fears and taking on life head on.
Knowledge and success is a process rather than a destination. The only way for you to get to where you want to go is to move from where you are right now to where you want to be. It is important to know your goals and to have goals that are challenging and still a long way away. It is important to know that sometimes you will fail and sometimes you will succeed but when you know this you will be able to push through the adversity that will come along the way. Knowledge and success are a ladder that you must climb everyday and each day you will be climbing a little higher.
Knowledge and success can not be bought. It is something that must be earned every day. When you have the knowledge and understand the law of attraction then you will be living in abundance and living your life the way that you have always wanted to live it. Knowledge is power and when you have unlimited power then you can do anything you put your mind to. Knowledge and success are an incredible ladder that can take anyone anywhere that they want to go in life.
